Bishop Pearson, as Dr. George Paget has reminded us (see p. 15 of his Notice of an Unpublished Manuscript of Harvey, 1850), writing in 1664, but seven years after Harvey's death, and Aubrey (see p. lxxxii. of Life by Dr. Willis, prefixed to the Sydenham Society's edition of his works, 1847), have ' They have hecome habituated, and are living in spite of, not because of these surroundings : immigrants die in the process of acclimatisation.' Such persons, and indeed all persons, may read with profit Mr. G. H. Lewes' Physio- logy of Common Life, vol. i. pp. 372-377, upon this subject.
